Help protect our community library. The Glebe Farm library is one of several local libraries that is under threat of closure from Birmingham City Council. Please help us support them by contacting your local councillors and MP's and asking them to put a stop to the closure of local libraries that play a vital role in developing young readers.

We’ve had a great start to the season so far with a dramatic 2:2 friendly against the Rosary. In the league we had a fantastic 4:4 draw against St Bernadette’s and a late goal in our second match saw St Peter & St Paul’s take a well deserved win with a final score of 2:1.

Mr Q and Mr Haw were very pleased with the team work and great defending from our boys that saw us take a fantastic 4:0 victory against Oasis Blakenhale on Tuesday night! Great team spirit from all our boys.

Thank you to all of our staff for their time.

We are looking for new opportunities to engage parents further in Lea Forest enabling you to be better informed about the Academy developments and have your suggestions heard. We will be holding Parent Consultation Coffee mornings in school starting after half term. The coffee mornings will be led by one of our parents.

We would like as many parents as possible to attend these coffee mornings which will ensure continued good communication and the sharing of ideas. A letter inviting you to the first meeting will be sent out after half term. We look forward to hearing your views.

We think our children look really smart in our school uniform and we’d like to thank all of the parents who have made an effort to send their child in with the correct uniform and PE Kit every week.

Please help us to maintain our smart appearance by making sure that your child has the correct uniform after the half term holidays .
